    Nice colouring on the corrugated. Great variations and effect. Aged but not dilapidated. fits the walls perfectly, nice work!

    Hi Elliot,
    I really like the rusted panels and the roof. Always like looking at the building on your diorama too.
    Are the rusted panels done with chaulk and paint or etched?
    Keep up the great work. Looking foward to more!

    Thanks for the comments - I found the little piece of chain left over from rigging the spouts - it was in a crevice in one of the castings - applied it to the spout to lower the thing - also added the arrow such as it is to the volume gauge and the cord to suspend it in the tank.image

    That really is looking good Elliot. The initial colouring really shows the detail and depth in the casting.
    It's going to look fantastic when you add the next layers of paint and pick out the details.
    Great work.

    The casting is amazing, I can't believe the amount of detail that is in Brett's castings. Elliot, your painting really brings out the details. Great job!

    Really nice work Elliot, I particularly like the warm, natural wood tones you achieved. Also admiring how crisply painted the details are on the benches.
    Maybe dull down the bright red cans on the big shelf unit in the top right of the pic, aside from that, everything really looks great. Nice work.

    am I boring you yet? here are most of the small metal castings - gears, tools - stuff not usually detail painted - there is a slew of them but the dio will absorb them with little difficultyimageimageimage

    Heads up - Runner got 3rd on the loco diorama at the NGC in Pasadena - well done

    more castings while I await the other kit - I need to rip up the rest of the area for the other buildings and set it all out together before I start placing the castings - so I will just content myself painting some drums

    Sorry for the mistype. Dam that auto spell! What I meant to type was I did not remember the prototype being painted. It looked to be more natural wood.

    The Donkey Repair Yard finishes up the series of kits making up the logging camp series - I'm continuing on this thread with those aspects of the build as I will be skipping back and forth as I assemble and plant the various parts - here is the storage shed, a casting. imageimageimage

    Elliot great work! I am really enjoying looking at the pictures you have posted. Is the boxcar a resin casting?

    Jim Richards
  • adminadmin
    Yes Jim, the boxcar is a two-piece resin casting... so easy to work with cause all the detail is cast in place.
